# least common multiple
## English
### Noun

least common multiple (plural least common multiples)
* (number theory) The smallest positive integer which is divisible by (equivalently, is an integer multiple of) each of a specified finite set of integers.
    120 is the least common multiple of 60, 8 and 15.
** 1859, David Henry Cruttenden, The Objective Or Synthetic Arithmetic, J. M. Bradstreet & Son, page 261:The LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE is the smallest number, which can be measured by each of two, or more divisors. […] Since 0 is the least multiple of every number, it must be the least common multiple of any, or of all numbers. It is, however, excluded by common consent in finding the least common multiples of numbers, because as such, 0 has no practical value.
** 2000, Robert W. Smith, Math Challenges, Grades 4-6, Teacher Created Resources, page 75:The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest common multiple of two or more factors. […] The least common multiple is used to determine the appropriate denominator for adding unlike fractions. In adding unlike fractions, it is important to find the lowest common denominator of the fractions. This is exactly the same thing as finding the least common multiple of the denominators.
** 2007, Jerome Kaufmann, Karen Schwitters, Algebra for College Students, 8th edition, Thomson Learning, page 820:It is sometimes necessary to determine the smallest common nonzero multiple of two or more whole numbers. We call this nonzero multiple the least common multiple. In our work with fractions, there will be problems where it will be necessary to find the least common multiple of some numbers, usually the denominators of fractions.

#### Usage notes

* The requirement that the least common multiple be positive has two effects:
** It excludes zero, which is trivially divisible by any integer.
** It means that the specified set cannot contain an element equal to zero. (This is also achieved by the requirement that the numbers be divisors, zero not being a valid divisor of any number.)
* Notations used include $\operatorname {LCM} (a,b),\ \operatorname {lcm} (a,b),\ \operatorname {l.c.m.} (a,b)$ and $\ [a,b]$.

#### Synonyms

* ((number theory)): lowest common multiple, smallest common multiple, lcm (initialism)

#### Coordinate terms

* greatest common divisor

#### Related terms

* least common denominator
* lowest common denominator
